Horrible!!!

Yep..We've already gotten to that point in the season..And we have 142 games left!!!Last nights 17-3 tough loss was just another night for guys who seem like they don't want to even try and win anymore..

The Pirates are sitting at 7-12,And if that's not bad enough,They have been outscored  147-65,And even worse they look like they don't even belong in the Major Leagues..

Zach Duke,The  2-1 "ace" was torched for 8 runs in last nights 17-3 debacle in Beer City..

No pitcher has made it past 6 innings in the last week,And I think only 2 have gone more the 5 since this season started!!!

The pitching is what a lot of "so called experts" said would be the key to the Pirates season..Fail!!!!

The hitting,This was another high spot, Not so much the last week..We have held a lead ONCE! 1 time in the last 7 days..And that was only for half an inning!!!The Bucs have now lost 22 games in a row at Milwaukee,And the way things are looking,They could beat the  St Louis Browns /Baltimore Orioles record of losses to 1 road team..They lost 27 to the 1952-54 Cleveland Indians..

Pirate Flags..

Jeff Karstens becomes the latest victim..I mean starter to take to the mound tonight.. Good luck,You'll need it!!

As good as SP Brad Lincoln has been,The Pirates are saying he is not going to be rushed..No sense sending him up,And having him go on the DL with whiplash or anything..

Catcher Ryan Doumit has had a horrible week.Batting .255,He has 4 runs batted in..That's 1 less then the Brewers starting pitching had during last nights game!!


Pirates take on those Pesky Brewers yet again tonight.. I think the game starts at 7:05,And should be over by 7:35..
